...self-sacrifice. There probably is not a man in Harvard who would not call it the greatest shame if the crew were prevented from going to New London merely because the students were not open handed enough to send it down; and yet there were only eighteen men, we understand, out of the whole university who showed that they actually cared to put themselves out sufficiently for the sake of the crew to buy a ticket to the concert. There must be among the men a greater appreciation of their relations with the athletic teams, and a greater willingness...
...whole it seems to us rather a mistake to charge admission to a class game, even to the last of the series. We understand perfectly that the class nines incur expenses which have to be defrayed somehow; and that the easiest way to get subscriptions is by charging gate money.

If the old plan of having a new library reading room were...
...Black has shown himself to be well acquainted with the literature of his country and the influence which the men on whom he has lectured have had upon it While he has not, perhaps, offered us any especially new or original treatment of them - and indeed, as we understand it, such was not his intention at the beginning, - he has given an entertaining and popular course of lectures which cannot fail to be profitable to us. Certainly he can close them with the satisfaction that they have proved of interest, and that we are grateful to him for his undertaking...
